Beam / Shelf Against a Wall
15. Rotational Equilibrium / Beam / Shelf Against a Wall / Problem 2
An architect designs a window that opens as shown in the image. The window is 4.50 m long. It is kept in a horizontal position using a 7.00 m rope that hooks 6.0 m above the hinges. The maximum load of the rope is stated as 0.800 kN. Determine the greatest weight of the window that the rope can withstand without breaking.
